I was curious and check my phone and fastboot reports that some of my blocks are bad. I was like "WTF". I been flashing with no problem. And i found this thread. I have my scan below. It seems i have 12 out of 3582 blocks that are bad. Just out of curiosity, what are the numbers of bad blocks people have? I must of flashed my N1 about 1000 times. Hell I don't remember. Its been that many time. Anyways, take a look below. If someone see something wrong, holla back plz. Thanks.

@Thesahwty, how many bad blocks do you have? Just curious.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galloway:
Thanks guys for the insight...I guess my 5 blocks right now is nothing to worry about considering there are roughly 3582 blocks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl8125:
Do you flash alot? I guess 5 is better then 12. Then again 12 us better then dead N1. I would hate to go out like that. LOL
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galloway:
I wouldn't say a lot of flashing compared to others but I have probably flashed 50+ or so different times....drug started with Cyanogen, then went to Enomthers, MicroMod, Evervolv, some MIUI, some Sense versions and I have been running SuperOSR's for a while now. Of course a few tests in between of some such as Blandroid and OxygenMod. Always updating to the most current version of a Rom when it comes out or if problems start happening...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PacoBell:
Sorry to rez such an old topic, but according to this thread, the industry standard for failure is considered 2% bad out of all blocks, which in our case (at least for the hboot partition) comes out to roughly 71 bad blocks. Personally, I've got only 9, which seems to be around the statistical average here, definitely a far cry from texasice who was at least an order of magnitude higher. What was he flashing his phone with, gamma rays? LOL!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Over two years, he flashed over 500 times. Kind of normal, isn't it, when you're a developer. We sorted that out fine, though :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chota_shivaji:
There is a bad block management in Linux nand driver (mtd).

A general concept used there is: Make a list of bad blocks during boot. If a read/write request comes for a bad block it is redirected to known unused good block. This process can be repeated for the blocks that can go bad due to usage.

So it is rare to land into issues due to large number of bad blocks unless the NAND of that phone has manufacturing defects.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arafat_mw:
I have got 16 bad blocks ! So does flashing ROM Involve damaging blocks ? I've to find a stable ROM asap then, No more experiments :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Over time, the NAND (internal) memory will wear out, and yes, flashing is one factor which will make it wear out quicker.

I promise you, 20 bad blocks is really not much to worry about. Texasice had over 1000 bad blocks when his N1 died. Well, technically it didn't die since he could load a ROM from the SD-card, but NAND memory was dead.

Hey all,

Something is cutting my battery in half by midday where that never used to happen until evening with this extended battery on my Rezound.

I haven't even made any calls or used the camera. I would say I was actually using the phone for est than 1/2 hour collectively. No new apps have been installed. I attached some screen caps.

Interesting....

Thanks,

Matt!
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
Edit: whoops, just noticed you said you are running the extended. That resembles my std batt. Wonder what's up?
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Click display, how long has your screen been on for? I just got 29 1/2 hours on my last charge. I have the extended battery also.
[HTC Rezound] KillerQ:
Display was on for 1.5 hours on Auto.
[HTC Rezound] KillerQ:
Wait a minute.... That's I'm possible. That means my screen was on for roughly 1/5 of the time that my phone has been off of the charger. No way. Super lights use today (maybe 30 minutes tops) and i shut the screen off every time I holster. I haven't seen the Screens on by itself at all either...? Hhmm... Nothing is running that would activate the screen either....
[HTC Rezound] KillerQ:
Oddly enough, my Wife told me that her phone did the exact same thing today.... I wonder if it could be something with the network in the area!
[HTC Rezound] KillerQ:
OK....

Today I used my phone a lot more and it has been off of the charger for much longer and the battery is down only a FRACTION compared to yesterday. I am in the same areas I was in as far as coverage and everything. Below is a pic to compare to my OP.

Could it be network related?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Matt!

I had this issue yesterday!! I was at home all day using my wifi and my battery drained big time. I was at 63% by 2pm so I had to charge it since last night was my hubby and my anniversary and we were going out!! I had not even done anything on my phone. I had been busy knitting (haha yes I knit) LOL
[HTC Rezound] helltrum:
I've had the same issue, I put my phone in airplane mode to see if it'd help. I believe it lasted much longer, unless its just the placebo affect, while occasionally taking it off to check for any messages. It's less than practical, but it works.

Could be the fact that your screen is turning on in your pocket. Because it's in your pocket and you have auto brightness, it would make your screen be at 100%. Try the app screebl and see if that helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi

My i9000 has a couple of problems at the time being. Mainly that I loose my imei from time to time, thus also cell reception. Don't even get a dummy IMEI. As far as I can tell this happens randomely. However a simple fix is to connect it to the PC via USB and VOILA, I get my IMEI back.

Have tried to use Nitrality + manually restoring the /efs folder, but the bug always comes back. Also did flash back stock 2.2+PIT+bootloader. So the phone should be very clean. However the problem persist across ROMs, Froyo, GB, ICS custom and stock. Currently using onecosmics ICS 2.1 + GLITCH kernel. However it seem to happen less frequent on stock roms.

adb mount, through terminal emulator (while IMEI still there) gives:

However will try to see if it is still mounted next time I lose signal to see if that's the problem. Any other suggestions now, are still apreciated.:)

Second problem is the micro-usb connector itself. I have suffered from symptoms like battery charging loop, USB connected long time after removed and random bootloops.

Figured out my problem might be as described here:

androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s/154080-usb-connected-notification-stays-after-usb-disconnected.html#post2028045

This is most likely a HW problem since blowing directly at the connector removes the symptoms for X amount of time and allow me to use the phone normaly. Tried to clean it once and for all with compressed air and a coffee filter dipped in some sort of connector cleaning fluid. Things got better from there on, but from time to time I still have to blow with my own breath at the connector to allow the phone to boot up from the battery charging loop.

Will try to clean it once more when I get access to a microscope.

Anybody think these problems are releated, or can help me in any way, please reply ;)

Thx

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WickR1:
New guy here to Android. I had an LG Thrill for about a month and a half and decided to take it back and pick up the Skyrocket. I've been using an iPhone 3GS for the last 2 years, so this is all new to me. Already getting into the customizing, but haven't dove into rooting yet. Seems like there's so many different ones, that I get overwhelmed and decide not to root the phone. Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] offwiththeface:
I used super one click to root and flashed cwm through rom Manager found it easy and straight forward. After that pic a rom and flash away. Welcome to the skyrocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WickR1:
What about the whole restore/backup thing? Is that part of it as well? Or a separate thing to do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] burhanistan:
Don't put the cart before the horse re: rooting your phone. Just because you can doesn't always make it a good idea. But, read the sticky posts at the top of each sub-forum. Don't root until you really come up against a compelling reason to do so (I wasn't planning on rooting this phone until I decided to say to hell with AT&T's tethering manager). And if you do, read, and reread, then read again the steps on rooting and try to grok what's happening (at least on the surface).

Don't be too eager to flash any old ROM that someone tosses up on XDA. Many create more problems than they puport to fix. Don't be too concerned with overclocking your CPU. These phones have fast dualcore processors that can chew through all the bloatware the carrier puts on with no problem. Overclocking can shorten battery and device life and cause weird assorted issues. Don't get hung up on benchmark scores trying to eke out a little extra just because someone else's bar graph is bigger.

At any rate, I'll keep the stock ROM until an ICS ROM becomes available for the Skyrocket. I'll take either Samsung's or Cyanogen's, whichever comes first.

Anyway, read the sticky threads, don't root unless you know why you want to root, avoid flashing strange ROMs, and don't get hung up on benchmark scores if your device is performing fine otherwise. Oh, and have fun!

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

It's part of it as long as you want to keep your apps. I find that restoring apps from backup on a new ROM can be the source of many issues that otherwise wouldn't be present if you simply wiped and flashed fresh. It's certainly a bit of a pain to reinstall apps, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rumdada:
I would reccomend just using the stock rom for now theres is x100 more you can do with andriord as you will soon see. I honestley had the skyrocket for about a month before i rooted. Some apps i reccomend that dont need a root,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] offwiththeface:
The first thing I did was root it and then put a rom on it. But that's just me it all depends on what you want. Its not a bad idea to familiarize yourself with the android experience first before you go ahead and get into the fun stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mortem Tuam:
my suggestion to any new Android want to be Root user....

read read read read read.....read everything, even read post from other device forums. Google and read, youtube and watch.

put it all together in your head, on paper, on a spreadsheet whatever works for you....and educate yourself Before you Root and Rom.

Also remember, everything you do to your phone is your responsibility, not anyone on xda or anywhere else.

Best way to avoid problems, read and learn before you attempt.

My first Root and Rom I had read for weeks before I even looked at my phone funny.

And it's good to ask questions, just try and find an answer before you ask, most of the time it has been asked and answered already. If not here then on sites like RootzWiki or Droid Forums....just use Google.

Good luck! :cool: and welcome to Android and xda
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WickR1:
Thanks for all of the advice guys. I'm big on doing research before I jump into something (especially electronic things). I'll keep reading stuff and seeing what I can find. I know it won't happen for a while, just wanted to see what was out there, and if it was easy as jailbreaking, which it doesn't look like it is. :D I'm sure it's easy for you guys, but for a n00b like me, it's a bit overwhelming.

Dont even worry... it all gets better. We got a great helpful community and amazing devs. And if your scared of bricking, we got ODIN which can fix "almost" any problems
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hooha23:
I am in an eerily similar situation. iPhone 2g --> iPhone 3g --> iPhone 3gs all since 2007-2008. Finally got an android phone and went with the Skyrocket. I have always been a techy, but, aside from a modded HP touchpad, have very limited experience with Android.

I rooted my phone after about two weeks. I read SO FREAKING MUCH about options, bricking potential, this still flash counter thing that att/samsung do, etc. I even have a buddy that has been an android fanboy since day one (computer science major).

I mainly wanted to root so that I could a) enable wifi tethering b) freeze bloatware (NOT uninstall), c) download apps from AARRRGGG locations and d) to simply learn how

I am personally waiting until ICS comes out before I try any custom roms. Until then, just learning everything I can.

AARRRGGG = what type of people say AARRRGGG?

Side note/Threadjack: one thing I am trying to find out is if ALL SGSII USB Jigs work with the SGSII Skyrocket. About to buy one just to have onhand...just incase, haha.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Above&Beyond™:
Pirates my friend. Pirates. LOLS. :D

As for rooting and rom development, pretty much everyone has given you the best advice you can get. Before rooting, always ask yourself why would you need to root your phone. Its really unnecessary to root your device if you dont really dont know anything about your device nor do you know what rooting does. Save yourself the trouble and stay with your stock rom as its probably the most stable thing for you. Until you start reading some threads, watch some videos, and read some more, then you will probably find some reason to get your device rooted and install some great roms that these developers have created for our phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
Just make sure you flash a rom specific to skyrocket. Anything else will most likely brick your phone.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianhot1:
No not necessarily,I heard that odex was the best as far as how the phone operates and responds from my knowledge. And also Im not sure how the recovery process would go changing my android system between the two,would mybackpro work and things like that with a backup and restore with that app,or would the recovery process be different.And also what about the modems and kernel flashes would I have to switch those as well to be on deodex? Im not to familiar with the process because to be honest I choose to stick with stock as much as possible,it seems like people run into problems flashing different kernels and things like that.That's why I was hoping for a odex since im still stock rooted
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Hahaha I've heard of more problems on stock than on a custom rom regaurdless. You have a custom recover no? Its quite simple make a backup of your current rom pick a rom and kernel of your choice wipe data,cache,dalvik and flash your new rom and kernel. Boot it up make sure its all good and go back into cwm and go to restore and advance restore your data. If you get any fc's clear that apps data. About the modems.... it all depends on what works best for your phone people like ei22 because its newest but if you have signal issues on there you can just use a different there are a bunch ec05,eg22,ef02, eeo3 etc etc no one modem is best but others work well with certain people. And your not changing you android system unless your flashing an Android Open Source Porject or aosp like cm7/miui.
